53、折词But以及下文提到的姐姐继续具体实施她的想法可知，之前的失败并没有阻止姐姐。deter意为“阻止”。23D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although there were no actual prizes，our mothers previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.”可知，姐妹俩利用人们对妈妈的信任得以出售出很多兑奖券。24A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our angry mother.making us apologise and give the money
54、 back.We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.”可知，妈妈对于姐妹俩故作聪明的小把戏非常气愤，命令二人向奖券购买者道歉，并退还所得。根据故事情节推断，妈妈应是教姐妹俩做人要诚实。语篇解读本文是说明文。最新研究发现，生活在南美洲的一种毒树蛙，其鲜艳的皮肤颜色与周围的环境融为一体，使得捕食者不容易发现它们。25B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“these colors may be helping the frogs hide in plain sight，according to a new study”可知，B项正确。26C写作
55、目的题。第二段中作者介绍了毒树蛙的生活地点以及皮肤颜色的构成，作者写本段的目的是提供背景知识。27A推理判断题。根据第四段及第五段的内容可知，研究者们设想毒树蛙用鲜艳的皮肤颜色作为保护色，使自己与雨林融为一体来保护自己。为了验证这一设想，研究人员进行了两次科学实验，实验结果均证实了这一设想。语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。文章谈论的是美国的成年子女们目前面临的“养老问题”，介绍了“送养老院”和“在家养老”的利与弊，最后作者简要介绍了“在家养老”的实际困难，引发读者的思考。28C段落大意题。文章第一段说明了生育高峰期出生的一代人都渐渐变老，并且在美国，几代人同住一个屋檐下的情况很少见，因此养老问题日趋
56、迫切，一些成年子女们将年迈的父母送到养老院。因此本段主要讲了这一行为的历史原因和文化原因。29B细节理解题。文章第二段介绍了养老院的基本情况和四个优势：有专业人员负责老人们的身体健康；与同龄人轻松相处保障了老年人的良好心理状况；多种多样的社交活动；营养美味的饭菜。30D写作意图题。通读全文可以看出，文章主要反映了美国成年子女们所面对的“养老问题”。语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。作为一个团队的领头人你一定要学会激励队员的潜能，以使他们更有效地工作。作者在此给出了几个可以激励队员的方法。31E根据本段最后一句 “People enjoy knowing that theyre doing a good
57、 job and enjoy working with people that treat them with kindness.”可知人们喜欢知道他们表现很好，也就是说喜欢受到表扬，故E项“Hand out praise when its necessary.(必要的时候表扬别人)”符合上下文语境。32B根据空后一句“When people are fully responsible，theyll be more likely to find the motivation to complete the task.”可知当人们有责任心的时候，他们会更有动力去完成自己的任务，故B项“Give
58、people responsibility.(赋予人们责任)”符合上下文语境。33C根据本段内容尤其是第二句“No one likes to feel like they dont matter.”可知，人们都喜欢被重视的感觉，因此C项“People enjoy feeling like theyre making a difference.”符合上下文语境。34G由本段第一句“Set realistic goals(设立现实的目标)”可知我们设立的目标必须是能够实现的目标，不能过难也不能过于容易。由空前“设立太容易的目标，难以激发队员们的潜力”及空后内容“得不到达成目标的满足感会失去动力”可
59、知，空处是说设立难以实现的目标，故G项与本段中心思想一致，符合上下文语境。35D根据空前一句“Keep lines of communication open and get to know your team by paying attention to their wants，needs，strengths and weaknesses.”可知，要让人们知道他们有一个很体贴的领导，这样他们才会更加努力地工作。D项“People are smart and they will know when they have a leader that cares and a leader that
60、doesnt.”符合上下文语境。语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。来自爱荷华州迪比克的13岁小男孩卢克，因为厌倦了玩电子游戏和骑自行车，决定在后院建一个小房子，从此迷恋上了建筑。这个例子证明了无聊对孩子有好处。它迫使他们变得有创造力，提高他们的想象力，帮助他们发现新东西。36C根据空后的“helps them discover new things”可知是“提高”想象力，故选C。37D一个恰当的例子是来自爱荷华州迪比克的13岁的卢克。此处指的是一个“案例”，故选D。38A卢克厌倦了玩电子游戏和骑自行车，所以他决定在后院建一个小房子。be tired of对感到厌烦，故答案为A。39B他通过修剪草坪赚钱
